JAMESTOWN — “Bullying Clymer to Gag Graduation Prayers” will be held Thursday, June 6 at 6:30 p.m. at the Jamestown Prendergast Library.

Recent pressure from an outside political interest group called the Freedom From Religion Foundation forced the Clymer school district to remove Baccalaureate from its property and eliminate prayers at graduation. Sponsored by the Sophie School Society, Pastor Mel McGinnis will examine the issues relevant to the free exercise of religion, freedom of speech and assembly answering the question: Should the decision to pray be under the control of the federal government or the local school district?

In addition to a brief sketch of the FFRF, a review of history, the words of our nation’s founding fathers and the application of the Constitution will be featured in the presentation. The public is welcome to attend.
